From the situation to a useful next step.
Here is a possible starting point. In a conversation, we can clarify the circumstances and agree my involvement.
Your selected situation
A proposal is requested, but the decision-maker is unknown · The approver is known, but not involved
Where we could start
I would review the current contact’s influence and prepare a respectful route to confirm criteria and approval expectations with the right stakeholders.
What you would have
A stakeholder and approval gap note, with questions for the next meeting.
Who needs to be involved
The current customer contact, the purchasing or budget owner where known, and the person preparing the proposal.
Roles and decisions
The buyer owns the approval process. I help clarify missing evidence and prepare appropriate questions.
